About StatusNeo:
StatusNeo is a global AI-native transformation firm helping enterprises design, engineer, and govern AI-led systems with trust at the core.
We work with global enterprises across BFSI, retail, healthcare, airlines, and platform-driven industries to transform how software is built, operated, and scaled in an AI-first world.
Our work is anchored in Authentic AI™ — an approach that treats AI not as a feature or experiment, but as a continuously evolving system that must be engineered with intent, accountability, and governance.
At StatusNeo, we don’t just talk about AI transformation.
We build it — across engineering platforms, AI-native SDLC, agentic systems, and enterprise operating models.

Develop AI reference architectures, reusable frameworks, and engineering best practices.
Partner with business and technology stakeholders to identify AI use cases and define implementation roadmaps.
Guide engineering teams through architecture reviews, technical decision-making, and solution delivery.
Design secure, scalable integrations with enterprise applications, APIs, and data platforms.
Establish AI governance, observability, security, and responsible AI practices.
Mentor engineering teams and drive technical excellence across AI initiatives.
Stay current with emerging AI technologies and evaluate their applicability to enterprise use cases.
